Brake Calipers

Shop 546 brake calipers for cars, trucks and SUVs. Each listing shows the makes, model years, engines and part numbers it is listed for, so you can match the part to your vehicle before you order.

What brake calipers do

The caliper holds the brake pads and squeezes them against the rotor using hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder.

Signs you need new brake calipers

  • The car pulls to one side when braking
  • A stuck caliper: one wheel runs hot, smells, or the pad wears much faster on one side
  • Brake fluid leaking around the wheel
  • A soft or sinking brake pedal

How to choose

  • Calipers are side specific. Check front or rear and left (driver) or right (passenger) in the title.
  • Some listings include the bracket, some do not. Check the details before you order.
  • Bleed the brakes after fitting a caliper.

Every listing shows the makes, model years, engines and part numbers it is listed for. If you are not sure something fits, ask us before you order.

Brake Calipers FAQ

Should calipers be replaced in pairs?
It is common to replace both calipers on an axle so braking stays even, though a single failed caliper can be replaced on its own.
What does a sticking caliper feel like?
The car may pull to one side, the wheel gets hot and you may smell burning brakes after a drive.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after replacing a caliper?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic system lets air in, so bleed the brakes before driving.
